Craig--Questions

[Chris Corrigan]

I have lots of questions and themes and invitations, and yet I second what 
Paul says. For me the magic is in pulling a question that resonates 
immediately with the current situation of the group and points somehow 
towards and invitation to move forward. It's a fine art, and there are many 
ways that one can facilitate a conversation that results in such a question. 
The power though lies in the theme using language that is different from the 
language of the group. One is never hurt by a little poetry, a little "What 
if..." and a little temptation to be just a little bit bigger, a little bit 
greater, a little bit more inviting. 

The process of drawing together a great questions is largely what makes that 
question great, in my experience. While there might be a fascinating list of 
questions should they all be assembled in one place, it would nonetheless 
probably not mean much without knowing about the context in which those 
questions were developed.
